If you’re like me, you spend hours upon hours listening to Spotify each and every single week. Sure, there are competitors out there from the likes of Apple and Google, but Spotify seems to have simply nailed the overall user experience in a way that others still haven’t been able to match.

With 2019 right around the corner, Spotify, as it did last year, updated its Spotify Wrapped website which provides subscribers with an interesting and comprehensive snapshot of their music listening habits over the past year. So if you’re at all curious about how many hours you’ve spent listening to Spotify or which songs you listened to the most over the past few months, SpotifyUnwrapped is there to help you out.

Once you navigate over to the website, one of the first things you’ll see is how many hours you spent listening to Spotify over the last year. As for me, I apparently spent 8,031 minutes listening to music this year. It may seem like quite a bit, but some die hard music lovers out there have spent in excess of 80,000 minutes on the streaming site over the past few months.

Beyond that, Spotify Unwrapped will also tell you which artists you listened to the most, which songs you had in heavy rotation, and which genre you tend to gravitate towards to the most. Perhaps the coolest thing, though, is that Spotify gives users an option to check out a Tastebreakers playlist which is described as follows:

Start 2019 by broadening your horizons. We’ve made you a playlist of songs from genres and artists you don’t normally explore – and we think you’ll like it.

I was skeptical at first, but the Tastebreakers playlist Spotify’s algorithm curated just for me was surprisingly great. It’s definitely worth a shot if you’re looking for some new artists and genres to enjoy.

Companies like Apple and Google are doing their best to put together music products that compete directly with Spotify’s Web-based music streaming product. While reports suggest record labels are making the process as difficult as possible for these giants, Spotify just took the fight to their home turf. The company on Wednesday launched a new […]

More than a year after Spotify brought developer Andrew Chang on board to develop an official Apple Watch app, and just a few days after Spotify released a limited test of an Apple Watch app, the real thing is finally here. And while the functionality is pretty basic for the moment, the release is almost […]

While Spotify Premium still offers many features that are only available for paying members, one of those features is making its way to the free tier. According to What Hi-Fi?, Spotify’s free users are now able to stream music on Spotify Connect-enabled speakers, which was previously reserved for Premium users. The change is part of an […]

Spotify’s annually hosted Wrapped website went live today, offering subscribers a look back at their listening habits over the last twelve months.

After the user logs in with their Spotify credentials, the site tells them how many minutes in total they listened for in 2017, including the number of different songs and artists they listened to, and how many genres they explored along the way.

Users then move onto a short quiz where they get to guess their top songs, artists, and genres over the course of the year, before being revealed the results.

The site then provides “Your Top Songs of 2017”, collected in one playlist, as well as a playlist titled “Ones That Got Away”, which includes a selection of unplayed tracks released in 2017 that are “based on what you love”, according to Spotify.

Buttons are presented on the site that let users play the playlists in Spotify, although we had trouble getting the function to

Introduction The music industry has changed dramatically during the last twenty years. When reading Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs this summer, I looked behind the scenes at the creation and expansion of iTunes, Apple’s online music store that began the music industry upheaval. It’s crazy to think that iTunes was released only seventeen years ago in […]

On Thursday morning, Spotify will send invitations to several hundred independent artists in the U.S. inviting them to a new feature that allows them to upload songs and albums directly — without going through a single label company, distribution group or Spotify employee — and automatically receive royalty payments in their bank accounts.

Hello everyone! I don’t know about you, but when summer comes around I feel the need to drink lots of lemonade, go on a lot of picnics and make a playlist. Summer has a feeling like no other time of years, so why not have the perfect soundtrack to go with it? Today I’m going […]

(Estimated reading time: 6 minutes.) Spotify: Streaming Numbers Put in Perspective. It’s no secret that Spotify is, and has for some time now been, the music streaming industry’s leader, as measured by paying subscribers, total users, revenues and otherwise.

I haven’t been feeling too well over the last few days. Since I started my holiday vacation, I’ve gotten a headache every evening after dinner. That’s why I was unable to post for Gallery Mondays and Wardrobe Wednesdays. I’m so sorry! If I hadn’t scheduled my winter playlist in advance, that still wouldn’t be up […]

Throughout the years, the way we listen to music has changed drastically. When originally we had big machines (giant radios and record players) to play our music, and now we have all of the music in the world at the palms of our hands. Spotify has been a leader in streaming music. Though there have […]

Can we just talk about the Spotify Wrapped for a minute!? I am so in love. Honestly, after last year’s failure I was worried they’d mess up this year too, and some of us would end up not getting our end of the year summaries. The horror! Apparently, this year, they’re not sending us emails. […]
